2016 CCSB/PSB Retreat

The Walhout lab participated in the annual joint Cancer Center for Systems Biology (CCSB) and Program in Systems Biology (PSB) retreat in Gloucester, MA, on September 7-9. The retreat attendees heard talks from their colleagues in CCSB and PSB, as well as lectures form other invited speakers. Distinguished Professor John Roth of UC Davis opened the retreat with a historical perspective of his work on mutation selection in bacteria. University of Toronto Professor and Howard Hughes Medical Institute Senior International Research Scholar Charlie Boone presented the keynote lecture on genetic networks in yeast, and Tufts University Professor and Howard Hughes Medical Institute Professor David Walt discussed how basic science research lead to the co-founding of the company Illumina. Walhout lab post-doctoral fellows Jingyan Zhang and Huimin Na, and graduate student Aurian Garcia-Gonzalez all gave short talks about their exciting research on C. elegans networks.
